dead we have oneof the men Uiat killed him under arrest and uc can lay our bands on another In five minutes he repliedA story that Elsie Sigel might havebeen murdered in Washington wascxohcd from statements In an anonymous letter which Louis Fook a ChiS naninn who has given some assistanceto the police In their work on the casetoday reported having received FookS says the writer of tho letter

the motor car to a laundry in HarS lem conducted by a friend of hiswho is a member of the Chinese HighTreason society known as the GeeGon Tong of which Leon is also amember With him he also had threesuit cases in which it is believedwere Elsie Sigels clothes The laundry man icfused to keep the trunkbut did take the suit cases and thepolice expect to obtain themThe trunk was kept in this laundryuntil 11 oclock at night when LeonLing is said to have employed a taxii enb to take him and the trunk to INewark a distance of about eighteenmiles from Harlem Jn Newark ashas already been discovered the IChinese friend of jeon who conducts a restaurant tnere also refuted to accept the trunk The factthat this man and the Harlem laundry keeper refused to have anythingto do with the trunk has led the police to believe that they had knowl Iedge of its grewsome contents IEarls In the morning of June 10Ling employed a Newark hackman tobring him and the trunk back to NewYork The police have additionalI evidence that Ling attempted toI leave the trunk at several otherPlaces but failed and took it backto the room where the murder wascommitted and where it was foundmore than a week laterI These discoveries upset the police theories than Ling was the manI who sent the telegram from Washington on Juno 1 to Elsie Slgols parents In this city But a Chinamandid scud that telegram from Washington and this convinces the policethat Leon Ling who was in this viI cinity on that date trying to disposeof the body had at least one accompliceINew York June 2On the ninth Ida after the discovery of Elsie Sigels body and presumably the eighteenth day after the crime was committed the New York police arc obligedto admit tonight that they arc as faras ever from the whereabout of LeonLinerI1ntTheThe most significant fact of the caseIs that there is nothing to indicatewhen or where Ling left the cityEvery house In Chinatown has beensearched room bv room and everywall and floor soundedThe Information coming from Newark yesterday that Leon Ling left thetrunk In a restaurant there has beeni substantlallv confirmed with slightalterations in details and hours but Itonly makes tho case more puzzling It Iappears today from the books of theLawrence Cab company that LI Singthe restaurant keeper did accept tho Jtrunk and that he kept it in his place ifor twelve hours although he has denied it But police investigationshows that the trunk was taken toNewark between midnight June 9 >and 1 a m of June 10 and remained jthere untlltheafternoonl the 10th IThis places the time of
